Landon Donovan and Mexico go hand-in-hand like meat and rabid dogs. It seems that every time
Donovan plays against Mexico, be it the national team or a Mexican club, Donovan seems to bring out
some emotions from Mexican supporters.
He certainly has drawn some emotions out from the locals here in Morelia.

There are times when covering soccer is not all that fun. Ridiculously tight deadlines, dealing

In this installment of your weekly preview, we get to see a few games tonight from four teams
that are contenders for their respective leagues, teams trying to get by without players called
into the Olympic qualifiers, and some good games to end the weekend. Join me after the break for
the lowdown.

Week six of the Mexican Apertura is going to feature some key games in the fight to stay in La
Primera. Some teams all of you may be familiar with are in really bad shape while others are
mid-table waiting for that spark to put them at the top. After the break, we give a short preview
of when and where you can watch the games this weekend along with a Fire/MLS connection where
applicable.

Champions League.

MORELIA, Mexico -- To say that Landon Donovan is Public Enemy No. 1 when he faces Mexican
